Assistance installing Mile Marker

[munnyhendershot]

This is the tag off the hard line you have the green arrow to from my winch. Did a few searches for the various numbers, and nothing came up, but may help you when calling milemarker.

You can get the manual off of the link I posted on mile markers military site.

Are you talking about the two hard lines that are attached to the winch that the lines like the ones above attachment to? If so the only place you will get those is a junk winch or directly from mile marker.

I guess its my luck.... all the link work except for the installation....

The MM sale rep gave me the part number but the sale person wont sell me military part???? They did however an adapter so I can get around the problem and install the winch so I just have to wait for it to see if that work....

Thanks everyone for your help.... Got the line made (~$65), cost a bit too much considering I got the winch kit for $900. Anyway, will post pic of winch when done...

Get a good 19 mm flare wrench and get ready for a good fight with the existing line going into the steering box.

Sorry that may not work. Some how I found the mile marker instruction manual on instal on HMMWV. It says NSN: 2590-01-456-7879 at bottom on cover. I will try to scan and post in a couple of days if not PM me with your email and I will scan and send to you if anyone needs it.

Waking this thread up again I too am installing a 10.5k Mile Marker hydraulic winch on my '92 m998a0. I can find this out by trial and error this coming week, but I thought I'd post and try to save myself some jacking and wrench turning. The spacing washers welded to the winch bumper brackets suggest that the twisted winch plate straps (example picture below) can be kept on the truck. Is this true, or do they have to be removed for the winch to fit?

they get removed...as well, you have to flip the bolt around on the lower control arm to install the milemarker winch plate.
this is a pita to,say the least on the left side. I can also,tell you the bracket you are referring may be the wrong bracket.
the actual milemarker frame bracket is void of those welded washers and the bottom of the bracket has no
lower gusset. If you have the lower gusset, it need to be cut out...it's a tight fit.
i actually had the correct milemarker bracket and the one I think you have.
once I looked in the milemarker install instructions, I found they were different part numbers.

Thanks, that is very helpful! I'll report back after the install with anything I've learned.

This thread has been very helpful to me in trying to install the Mile Marker 10,500lb hydraulic winch on my M998. I recently finished installing the winch, but have yet to connect the hydraulic lines and cables. Just thought I'd share a tip on turning the lower control arm bolts around and sharing the manual I received from Steve at Mile Marker (very helpful guy). I figured this out after a lot of swearing and frustration, but if you place a jack under the jack point directly under the spring on the lower control arm and start to lift the wheel (no need to remove the tire) you can find a point where there is zero tension on the bolt. The key is to remove the nut, so the bolt could be removed, then as you jack it up put pressure on the bolt and keep lifting until you feel to bolt slide freely (almost like playing jenga) at which point stop jacking the truck up. You can now easily remove the bolt and turn it around. Obviously, be careful while doing this in the event the jack slips and the truck drops. If I had figured this out earlier it would have saved me hours of frustration and pounding on the bolts with a hammer.

I also wasn't able to located the installation manual from Mile Marker on the internet, but was able to get one sent to me, so I'm posting from pics I took of the pages. Hope this helps a few people out.

pages 17 through 35...

Thank you for posting the manual! I wish I had it when I did my install. I've combined all the photos together into a single PDF, attached.

 

[CGFFEMT]

I thought mile marker had the installation manuals on their site... maybe they have since taken them down.

Attached are the mile marker PDFs for both the front and rear winch, which may be easier to read than the scanned copies. Hope it helps, wish I had seen this earlier.

 

[ChicagoM998]

Thank you for posting these! Only problem is now I'm going to start looking for parts to install a rear winch...

These manuals are a big help. Thanks.

My 1995 M998A1 came with a Mile Marker 10.5 hydraulic winch. It will pay out, but will not pay in. Any usual suspects to check first? All connections seem to be correct. I am using this controller I purchased from fleabay:

 

[ClarkeF]

That's the wrong winch controller. The hydraulic controller is yellow. You will need to re-wire the connector for it to work correctly.

first confirm in and out by jumping the pins without the controller, then using an ohm meter figure out which pins need to be swapped in the cannon connector to match up.

Yup, Thanks. I was able to source the correct NOS controller a month or two ago. Works like a charm.

If you don't mind sharing. Where did you get the correct controller from?

 

[desmodromic]

I purchased it from a helpful fellow Steel Soldiers member in response to a want ad I placed. IIRC, I or someone else posted up the correct NSN in another winch related thread on this site. Good luck with the hunt - it took me ~ 2 months.
